She keeps on growing!

I put Allie in her carseat to go get Mike and I thought that she looked so old, so I took a quick picture.  She is getting so cute!

This is my dream....

One thing that I have always wanted is for my life to be a musical.... like this video!  

Why I love my Mom

I hate to brag, but I think I have THE best mom in the world!  I am sure that 3 other people would agree!  My mom is such a great example to me of what a true Mother of Zion is:  Honest, smart, loving, nurturing, cultured, faithful, etc.  There are many stories that I could tell about all of these virtues, like the time when I was in 2nd grade and I had cheated on my spelling test and she told me she would rather have me get an F than to cheat on anything, or how she taught me correct English, which I use all the time.  The best example she has been to me is how she raised 4 great children who all got married in the temple and are faithful members of the church.  I am truly grateful for her amazing example and for her loving friendship that I now have with her.  I used to just sit at the kitchen counter and talk with my mom in the afternoons and now though I only get to do it from here in Florida, I still enjoy her love, support and counsel.  Thanks mom, I love you!

2 Months!

Allie is growing so quickly!  She had her 2 month appointment this week and she was so tough during her shots, she only cried for about 30 seconds!  We totally love her and look forward to each new day as she changes each day.  She is now smiling all the time and loves to stand up on her chubby little legs.

Here are her stats:

Weight: 11 lbs 14 oz      72nd percentile

Height: 24 inches          84th percentile

Head:    16 1/2 inches   64th percentile

I guess that is what you get for having 2 tall parents!  I would like to note the fact of her head as only the 64th percentile is a great accomplishment for my family, we all have large noggins!  She is starting to look more like me (chubby cheeks and her face shape), but still has Mike's eyes. She also has lots of rolls all over her body, love them! We love you Allie!

Spring Break 2009

Mike had his spring break this past week and we drove up to Panama City Beach to stay at a hotel by the beautiful white sandy beaches.  The first day we got there no one was allowed in the water due to rip currents.  The next day they moved it down a level, but it was super windy.  The last day it got a little better, but we enjoyed it anyways!  Yea for getting a break!  Oh, and it was bike week there also, who knew!  We got to see lots of bikers and got to be lulled to sleep to the sound of hundreds of Harlies.
